MATH 625 Homework VI

1. Proof. (a) It is known that all finite dimensional distributions of X(t) are multivariate normal with E(X(s)) = 0 and E(X(s)X(t)) = min{s, t}. It is easy to see that B(t) ∼ N(0, t), B(t′)−B(t) = X(s+ t′)−X(s+ t) ∼ N(0, t′− t) (t′ > t) and B(t0), B(t1) − B(t0), ..., B(tn) − B(tn−1) are independent. Hence all finite dimensional distributions of B(t) are multivariate normal with E(B(t)) = 0. Su...

Association between Self-Reported General and Mental Health and Adverse Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 19 625 Scottish Adults

OBJECTIVE Self-reported general health and mental health are independent predictors of all-cause mortality. This study examines whether they are also independent predictors of incident cancer, coronary heart disease and psychiatric hospitalisation. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, population cohort study by linking the 19 625 Scottish adults who participated in the Scottish Health Survey...
